Kcal 210 Fat 11.2g Carbs 25gThis bar came in a 42g serving that was seperated into six sections. I say seperated, though in actual fact the surface of the chocolate was merely indented slightly and the caramel ran the whole way through the bar; this proved to be rather messy when I tried to split the bar into its six setions. The bar itself has two seperate layers composed of a base of bubbly airated chocolate with a thick helping of golden caramel running above it; all this of course is coated in a milk chocolate coating. The base of the bar is really quite pleasent, it is consistant with other Aero bars and has that delighful melt on the tongue feel that ensures a smooth pleasent initial chocolate flavour.
The chocolate itself is pretty standard Nestle milk chocolate...not at all bad and due to its pleasent melting aspect its really quite enjoybale. By far and away the strongest flavour of this bar is of course the caramel; which is quite literally packed in to the brim. The bar I had was so packed that the rather thin chocolate shell was broken in a couple of places and the caramel was oozing out all over the inside of the wrapper - hardly the most appealing and annoyingly messy. The caramel flavour itself was honestly not the best I have tasted. Due to its sheer volume and sugaryness it quickly became rather sickly and after only three blocks (half a bar!!) I really felt like eating no more. Due to the nature of the research I did finish the bar but by the last block the taste was really quite monotomous and not one I was particularly enjoying.
Overall the actual Aero aspect of this bar (the airated base) was really quite pleasent and I can see how this would appeal to many. Unfortunately the actual caramel aspect of this bar is quite poor in comparison to others I have tasted during Chocolate Mission. This bar would benefit from having a little less caramel thats taste is more concentrated and flavoursome like comparative Galaxy/Dairy Milk bars. Worth a try if your a diehard fan of Aero but if not I would reccomend other Caramel bars above this one.

Hi Jim,
me again lol i agree with you on this bar, aeros have never been my favourite bar but i like caramel ( and this reminded me of the Wispa Gold, an old favourite). However i think the ratios of caramel to chocolate were a bit wrong- where as with the wispa gold you got more wispa to caramel here you get more caramel to very little aero, but the caramel is very sickly and the design on the bar is rather misleading as it does suggest easy to divide chunks when its not lol.
Alan
Alan IMO the Wispa Gold cant come back soon enough to wipe the floor with this bar!! LOL come on Cadbury do us all a favour! The Wispa Gold was always a massive fave of mine!
Cheers
Jim
lol very true. got me thinking about another aero spinoff - the aero truffle bar! havent seen it in a while - you may have it ready for review lol its exactly the same design as this except with a 'truffle' top instead of caramel. i always thought it more of a praline but there you go lol
cheers
Alan
Alan Aero Truffle!? I've never seen, nor heard of it!? Got any more details on it?
Thanks
Jim
really? wow, well i havent seen them ina while but as i say they were exactly like the aero caramel but witha truffle instead of caramel and the wrapper was the same except the truffle title was all 'posh' looking stuck on the end. they also did and irish cream variation but don't think that took off. no idea if they arestill in production, maybe next time nestle send you anything it would be worth asking as it was an interesting combination!
cheers
alan
Alan A google search comes up with very little on both of them!! I guess they are just another thing of the past! You ever come across them again, be sure to let me know about it!
Cheers pal
Jim
I think the recipe must have changed slightly over the past few years because there seems to be less caramel in them now - or at least there was in the one I had. I thought the chocolate and caramel both tasted nice, but I wasn't keen on the texture. I think that's just the case with Aero bars in general for me. I'm not keen on the aerated stuff.
